candidates that were selected by the Nominating
Committee but there is also one
open seat that will be filled by a
vote of CIRA members.

Frank
Michlick, one of
the most experienced and well qualified
people in the domain
investment and related fields,
is among those running for
that seat. Frank, through
his current enterprises DomainCocoon.com
and DomainNameNews.com
(with Adam Strong),
consulting SedoMLS and
his previous associations
with some of the leading
companies in the space,
including Tucows, has
championed the Canadian
Internet since 2000. He
is just the kind of presence
our community needs to make
sure its interests are
represented on the CIRA
board. If you own
a .CA domain you can help make
that happen but, if you are
not already a CIRA member, you
will need to act today
to become one and thus be
eligible to cast a vote in the
election.
Any
.CA domain owner can easily join
CIRA by simply
filling out and submitting a form
available here
and here is why time is of
the essence. The Election
process is currently in the
"Show
|
|
of
Support"
stage. To be on the final
Board ballot, a candidate for
the open seat has to have 20
CIRA members indicate their
support for him or her. Today
(August 31) is the deadline to
be included on the Voting List
(CIRA members receive an email with a
link to show their support,
along with an ID code and pin
number). |
Of
course many of our readers are already
CIRA members and we would also encourage
you to Show Your Support for Frank as
noted attorney Zak Muscovitch did
yesterday. Frank has a campaign
page here
and Zak's article includes Frank's
complete Candidate Statement that
details both his background and why he
wants to serve on the CIRA Board. The
Show of Support stage will continue
until Monday, Sept. 5. Then the
final voting for those
who have qualified for the ballot will
take place from 3 p.m. ET on
September 22 until 3 p.m. ET on
September 29, 2016.
